A '''dark eco silo''' is a large [[Precursor artifacts|Precursor artifact]] that contains large amounts of liquid [[dark eco]], only seen in ''[[The Precursor Legacy]]''. It was atop a silo that [[Jak]] and [[Daxter]] defeated [[Gol]] and [[Maia]] in [[Gol and Maia's Precursor robot|their Precursor robot]]. There were many planted throughout the world in locations such as [[Misty Island]], [[Lost Precursor City]], and [[Gol and Maia's Citadel]].
The '''dark eco silos''', as the name suggests, were huge structures used by the [[Precursors]] to store Eco which may have been for a variety of reasons. No one knows what happened to these gigantic structures after [[Jak]] and [[Daxter]] traveled through the [[Rift Gate]]. It's possible that the [[Metal Heads]] gained access to the Silos, allowing them to achieve the power necessary to grow in number and change the world.

Two silos appeared at [[Misty Island]], one silo being the one [[Daxter]] fell into that transformed him from [[ottsel]] to [[human]], and the other that served as the stage for an ambush.

These dark eco silos are of major importance in The Precursor Legacy. [[Gol]] and [[Maia]], driven mad through experimentation with Dark Eco, try to open a gigantic Silo with a modified [[Precursor robot]] in an effort to "re-shape the world to [their] liking". They could not find the Dark Eco they needed near the surface and so they sought for a way of accessing the stores underground. However, it is thought that only Precursor technology was capable of opening the Silos, presumably to maintain control.

After learning of this sinister plot, it falls on Jak and Daxter to stop the Robot from opening the towering Silo, which would otherwise flood the world in Dark Eco.

==Other Silos==
 
There is a smaller dark eco silo on [[Misty Island]]. In this location, Lurkers are given orders to bombard the Silo with a cannon (directed at you upon entry). This prompts great concern in Samos, who sends [[Jak]] to the island to destroy the cannon. This attempt of Gol and Maia to open the Silo by bombarding it with a cannon is a considerable turning point in the story as it shows their obvious realization that they will need Precursor technology to have any hope of fulfilling their terrible plan. From this point on, the Lurkers can be seen scavenging Precursor artifacts in almost all areas.

There is a second silo in [[Gol and Maia's Citadel]], near the one upon which Jak fights the Robot. This is smaller than the one on [[Misty Island]].

==References==
It is possible that the [[Lost Precursor City]] houses a dark eco silo also, which Jak must escape after accidentally pressing a button and causing the Dark Eco to rise. This would make sense as the City is very low down, near the seabed and so should have faily easy access to the underground stores that Maia speaks of. In addition, it clearly contains a vast amount of Dark Eco, certainly the amount expected in a Silo.

Yes, the silos! They will be opened! And all the dark eco of the world will be ours!

A dark eco silo is a large Precursor artifact that contains large amounts of liquid dark eco, only seen in The Precursor Legacy. It was atop a silo that Jak and Daxter defeated Gol and Maia in their Precursor robot. There were many planted throughout the world in locations such as Misty Island, Lost Precursor City, and Gol and Maia's Citadel.

Role

Dark eco silos are large monolithic tubs filled with liquified dark eco. They are made of Precursor metal, and were used to store supplies of eco for the Precursors before they vanished. They can be sealed off by doors at the top of the device, and only opened by either blowing it open or special access.[1]

Two silos appeared at Misty Island, one silo being the one Daxter fell into that transformed him from ottsel to human, and the other that served as the stage for an ambush. The second one remained shut, while the first was open. The lurkers had attempted to open the second one with the cannon without avail.

One massive silo appeared in the Lost Precursor City that was activated after Jak stepped on a platform with a power cell on top. The platform had a dark eco hazard-mark on it, which acted as a giant switch to fill the silo. The dark eco levels filled up quickly, and Jak had to use the surrounding platforms to escape.

One exceptionally large silo appeared beside Gol and Maia's Citadel, which hosted the fight between Jak and the two dark beings. Gol and Maia blasted the top of the silo in an attempt to kill Jak and open the top of the silo to release the contained dark eco. They got the silo opened, but were defeated and ended up sinking in the dark eco below.

Notes

  • The entire continent (including all locations previously visited) is visible from the top of both the Citadel roof and the neighboring dark eco silo (which reaches roughly the same height). In addition, the silo and the Citadel roof are by far the highest structures seen in game, towering above even Snowy Mountain, which appears almost like a large crystal on the ground below.
